Problem with Motors - CG5 Goto mount - HELP!!

Thanks for the replies lads, you are not gonna believe, I set up in the back garden to check out the problem, I had'nt changed a thing, and I find that my cigarette lighter adapter is loose attached to my celestron powertank, seems that not enough power was going to the motors at all, so they were probably struggling along :twisted:

Jeez, I am some stupid *$%*$(* !!!!

Cheers

Dave
